You can enable the database for replication using below script.

use master
exec sp_replicationdboption @dbname = 'sqldbpool',
@optname = 'publish',
@value = 'true'
go

If you have restore the database on test environment and you are getting the error that “Database is part of Replication”, you can clear/disable it by executing below query.

use master
exec sp_replicationdboption @dbname = 'sqldbpool',
@optname = 'publish',
@value = 'false'
go

    is there any possible way to enable and disable publication articles via PS and or SQL script without dropping publication. When I run the above it actually drops pub and renders in inaccessible.
