SET sql_log_bin = {0|1}

The sql_log_bin variable controls whether logging to the binary log is done. The default value is 1 (do logging). To change logging for the current session, change the session value of this variable. The session user must have the SUPER privilege to set this variable. Set this variable to 0 for a session to temporarily disable binary logging while making changes to the master which you do not want to replicate to the slave.

As of MySQL 5.5, sql_log_bin can be set as a global or session variable. Setting sql_log_bin globally is only detected when a new session is started. Any sessions previously running are not impacted when setting sql_log_bin globally.

In MySQL 5.6, it is not possible to set @@session.sql_log_bin within a transaction or subquery. (Bug #53437)
