occurs. How to suppress this error?

Make the code reachable. Unreachable code is a compiler error in Java. Every
statement has to be at least potentially reachable.

....
      stmt = con.createStatement();
        stmt.execute(selectCmd); //String explainCmd = selectCmd;
* return;
****

        selectCmd = "create temporary table match_detail_table as (" +
selectCmd;
        selectCmd += ")";
...

Is that supposed to be a code snippet?

The part that makes the 'selectCmd' assignment unreachable isn't shown. It
looks like maybe you put statements after the return of a method, but
"* return;"
won't compile, "****" and "...." won't compile.

You seriously need to internalize http://sscce.org/
