Yes, I'm going to do this.

```python
def database(self, database, format=None):
db = self.ds.databases[database]
if self.ds.setting(""hash_urls"") and db.hash:
path = self.path(
f""{dash_encode(database)}-{db.hash[:HASH_LENGTH]}"", format=format

else:

The URLs that incorporate a hash have a `dbname-hash` format - will that `-` in the middle there mess up the dash decoding mechanism? I think it will.
Might be able to solve that like so:
```python

hash = None
name = None
decoded_name = dash_decode(db_name)
if decoded_name not in self.ds.databases and ""-"" in db_name:
# No matching DB found, maybe it's a name-hash?
name_bit, hash_bit = db_name.rsplit(""-"", 1)
if dash_decode(name_bit) not in self.ds.databases:
raise NotFound(f""Database not found: {name}"")
else:
name = dash_decode(name_bit)
