Migrating SQL 2005 to 2008, SharePoint 2007 Databases, anyone done this?

Hi,

We plan to migrate our current SQL2005 server to SQL2008 SP1, part of my process is to ensure all our current applications that make use of 2005 are compatible.

I am having issues finding a clear answer on this or the process involved for migrating SharePoint 2007 databases to the new SQL Server. What is involved from a SharePoint perspective?

I have been gathering information and it looks like as long as SharePoint 2007 is on SP1, it will support SQL2008 databases.

How would I go along migrating this? Is it a mater of pointing the SharePoint to the new database server, or is there more steps involved?

Thank you.
