Here's the error.
You should give the database name.
drv <-dbConnect(drv, dbname="dfghdfgsdfgsdfgsdfgsdfgsdfgsdf")
                     ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Of course.
Tables are stored in the database. You didn't provide its name.
Function dbListTables doesn't know which tables should it list.
