WDM 5.7.2 Enterprise - install DB to a dedicated SQL server

We're looking to install the Enterprise version of WDM 5.7.2 having road-tested the Workgroup version for a while now. Our company does not allow SQL Express installs in our production environment hence the need for Enterprise and to use an existing SQL server.

Before I'm allowed to run the install on a Dev SQL server and choose the Database option I need to know the SQL server collation type - it is the default 'Latin1_General_CI_AS'? - as we have several different types and the DBA doesn't want a mix of collations on any of his servers.

Also, does anyone have any advice or instructions for migrating the database from a dev SQL server to a Prod SQL server? Am wondering if there are any WDM specifics to know about.
