Naming Your PerformancePoint 2010 Database

In my blog post about SP1 features for PerformancePoint, I mentioned some new capabilities around the PerformancePoint (PPS) database side of things. For instance, you can now
.assign a failover server for the PPS database,
.assign a custom database name at provisioning time,
.allow administrators to use SQL authentication (rather than just Windows authentication) when connecting from the PPS service, and
.attach a new PPS service to an empty database, rather than having SharePoint create it during provisioning.
