Allow Non-Replicated ALTER TABLE FETCH and ATTACH in Replicated Databases

Allow non-replicated ALTER TABLE FETCH and ATTACH in Replicated databases. #29202 (Kevin Michel).
Allow non-replicated ALTER TABLE FETCH and ALTER TABLE ATTACH commands to be executed in replicated databases.

Why it matters

This feature enables users to perform FETCH and ATTACH operations on tables within replicated databases without requiring replication of these specific ALTER TABLE commands. It improves flexibility by allowing direct data file manipulation commands that were previously restricted, thus facilitating easier recovery and management of replicated tables.

How to use it

Users can now execute ALTER TABLE FETCH and ALTER TABLE ATTACH commands on tables in replicated databases as usual without any additional configuration steps. Simply run these commands on the replicated tables as needed.
