Upgrade VirtualCenter Database from SQL Express

Article from the VMGuy:

What happens when I outgrow SQL Express for Virtual Center?
Thanks to Ryan for sending in this request. As many of you know, when you install Virtual Center (VC) in your environment it requires a database. By default, you may use SQL or Oracle. If you do not have a database server handy, you can use the included MS SQL 2005 Express database engine. This included SQL Express engine is supported by VMware in production environments up to 5 physical ESX hosts or 50 Virtual Machines.
What happens when we outgrow that? Can we upgrade in-place? The good news is, yes you can..........
