## Common Questions
Match user requests to endpoints in references/api-spec.lap. Key patterns:
- "Delete a replicationLink?" -> DELETE /subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/{resourceGroupName}/providers/Microsoft.Sql/servers/{serverName}/databases/{databaseName}/replicationLinks/{linkId}
- "Get replicationLink details?" -> GET /subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/{resourceGroupName}/providers/Microsoft.Sql/servers/{serverName}/databases/{databaseName}/replicationLinks/{linkId}
- "Create a failover?" -> POST /subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/{resourceGroupName}/providers/Microsoft.Sql/servers/{serverName}/databases/{databaseName}/replicationLinks/{linkId}/failover
- "Create a forceFailoverAllowDataLoss?" -> POST /subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/{resourceGroupName}/providers/Microsoft.Sql/servers/{serverName}/databases/{databaseName}/replicationLinks/{linkId}/forceFailoverAllowDataLoss
- "Create a unlink?" -> POST /subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/{resourceGroupName}/providers/Microsoft.Sql/servers/{serverName}/databases/{databaseName}/replicationLinks/{linkId}/unlink
- "List all replicationLinks?" -> GET /subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/{resourceGroupName}/providers/Microsoft.Sql/servers/{serverName}/databases/{databaseName}/replicationLinks
- "How to authenticate?" -> See Auth section above

## Response Tips
- Check response schemas in references/api-spec.lap for field details
- Create/update endpoints return the modified resource on success
