Upgrading SQL Server JIRA v7.7.1

Question

We recently upgraded to

JIRA v7.7.1

We have a SQL Server 2008 R2 Database and see that it is not supported and want to upgrade it to SQL Server 2012.  Is this pretty much a straight forward process.  Meaning, all I have to do is upgrade my SQL installation and that's it or will I need to do something on the Jira end?

Thanks for your advice.  The upgrade went smooth

Assuming you are not changing the Jira version, you're fine.  Stop Jira, upgrade the database (after taking a backup, of course), then restart Jira, pointing to the newly upgraded one (if you've moved it, check the content of jira-home/dbconfig.xml )
