It is a compile time exception (Checked Exception). Anything that inherits Exception class is a compile time exception and any class that inherit from RuntimeException and Error classes are unchecked Exceptions (Runtime Exceptions). SQLException is a direct subclass of Exception which means it is a checked exception. Refer to the link from Java Language spec:

RE: is SQLException run time or compile time exception?

The exception is thrown at run time. The compile time complaint you are seeing is because the underlying class throws SQLException which should be handled by either a try catch block or including throws clause at the method declaration.
