18514	Creating sequences fails with Oracle 01741 error on custom table name with quotes	obmuc	nobody	"Using a custom table name with Oracle, and entering the full-qualified oracle schema + table name with quotes, is resulting in an Oracle 17141 error when running syncdb: ""illegal zero-length identifier"". The all-knowing Google indicates this is due to an empty string ("""") being passed to Oracle.

Example Model: 

{{{
class MyModel(models.Model):
	a_field = models.CharField(max_length=1000, blank=True, null=True)
	
	class Meta:
		db_table = u'""ORACLE_SCHEMA"".""DESIRED_TABLE_NAME""'
}}}

Executing the syncdb management command to create that table results in the following:

{{{
$ ./manage.py syncdb
Creating table ""ORACLE_SCHEMA"".""DESIRED_TABLE_NAME""

The table is otherwise usable with the Django ORM once created - just errors on attempt to create via syncdb."	Bug	closed	Database layer (models, ORM)	1.2	Normal	duplicate	oracle		Accepted	0	0	0	0	0	0
