It sounds like you're running the code in an environment where *err* is bound to an OutputStreamWriter. The default binding is to a PrintWriter which does provide println.
I see that the API page describes *err* as a Writer whose default binding is a PrintWriter wrapping System/err.
http://clojure.org/API#toc15
clojure.contrib.sql is written as if *err* being bound to a
PrintWriter were a requirement. I think that's reasonable and I would
like to see the API page change to require that.
It's reasonable to bind *err* to anything you like for a short time within code you control, but a long-running Clojure environment, one that provides a REPL, should mirror of the default environment so Clojure code doesn't need to worry about using (.println *err* ...) without its own wrapper.
