Review comment:
       I had add checking for empty strings here (`schema=self.schema or None`) 
to get CI to pass, as I wasn't able to track down why CI was always creating 
empty schema names instead of `None` on some of the examples databases. I later 
noticed that similar logic is being applied elsewhere (e.g. 
[here](https://github.com/apache/incubator-superset/blob/878f06d1339bb32f74a70e3c6c5d338c86a6f5c6/superset/models/core.py#L611)
 and 
[here](https://github.com/apache/incubator-superset/blob/878f06d1339bb32f74a70e3c6c5d338c86a6f5c6/superset/models/core.py#L675)),
 so I figured it's ok to solve the symptoms here with this simple workaround 
instead of ensuring undefined schemas are always `None`.
