Description

I suggest we extend the resource SqlDatabasxe with a new parameter EnableReplication that enables the replication of a database if the instance has enabled replication.

See the article ReplicationDatabase Class for more information about enabling replication for a database.

Research direction

Start by locating the SqlDatabase resource and reading the linked ReplicationDatabase Class article to understand database-level replication. Add the EnableReplication option so it enables replication when instance replication is already enabled. Done means the resource supports this requested database-level configuration.
