The problem is that you have a code path that can exit your method
without returning a value (which is a no-no). If a SQLException is
thrown inside your try block, it will be caught, logged, and then the
method exists with no return value.

You have several options:

1. Put a catch-all "return" at the very end of the method
   (after the finally block)
2. Put a return in your catch(SQLException) block.
3. Throw an exception in your catch(SQLException) block.

I tend to favor #3 since a SQLException usually indicates a real problem
rather than something that is recoverable, but this may not be true
under your particular circumstances.
