I don't know what version you're running, but a mysql -?
will show you the variables you can set. It's not ALL variables you can set that way, just a few. You will see that the variable you're trying to set cannot be set via a command on the commandline. However, your first command could be to SET SQL_LOG_BIN=0 in your script or whatever you're running. For 5.0.19, here is the snippet of mysql -? that shows the variables you can set: Variables (--variable-name=value) and boolean options {FALSE|TRUE} Value (after reading options) --------------------------------- ----------------------------- auto-rehash TRUE character-sets-dir (No default value) default-character-set latin1 compress FALSE database (No default value) delimiter ; vertical FALSE force FALSE named-commands FALSE local-infile FALSE no-beep FALSE host (No default value) html FALSE xml FALSE line-numbers TRUE unbuffered FALSE column-names TRUE sigint-ignore FALSE port 0 prompt mysql> quick FALSE raw FALSE reconnect TRUE socket (No default value) table FALSE debug-info FALSE user (No default value) safe-updates FALSE i-am-a-dummy FALSE connect_timeout 0 max_allowed_packet 16777216 net_buffer_length 16384 select_limit 1000 max_join_size 1000000 secure-auth FALSE show-warnings TRUE -Sheeri On 5/15/06, Mattias Andersson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi. I can't figure out how to set the session variable SQL_LOG_BIN when using the mysql command-line client. I want to do something like: #mysql -u root -pmypasswd --sql_log_bin = 0 < somefile.sql. When trying to run this mysql tells me: /usr/bin/mysql: unknown option '--sql_log_bin' I figure from the documentation that this should be possible: mysql --help ---snip--- -O, --set-variable=name Change the value of a variable. Please note that this option is deprecated; you can set variables directly with --variable-name=value. ---snip--- Perhapps the problem comes from that this is a sessions-variable...? The problem I would like to solve is to not bin-log some special data imports. Any one that could help me figure this out? Thanks alot.
