I agree with Davis.  $40k means you are targeting newly minted college
grads.  And among new college grads I don't think you'll find the experience
and extensive knowledge you are looking for.  Either you'll have to train
him in house or pay more to get an older, experienced person.

who know databases and SQL can get jobs as programmers in Calif. for $80K to
$100K and more -- I know because my wife is a programmer and interviewed in
Calif quite a bit. She finally took $55K in Texas because $80 in California
with cost of living there leaves nothing at the end of the year.
