Disabling binary logging when restoring a compressed MySQL dump
I found this answer. 

https://geert.vanderkelen.org/2009/disabling-binary-logging-when-restoring-a-mysql-dump/

bash $ (echo "SET SESSION SQL_LOG_BIN=0;"; cat dump.sql) &gt; dump_nobinlog.sql


A better solution would have been the following.
Taken from the comments on the above site. 
But as the volume of data is rather large I don't want to spend another few hours waiting for the data to be exported. This also does not include compress of the file at dump time.  

$ echo "SET SESSION SQL_LOG_BIN=0;" &gt; dumpfile   
$ mysqldump .... &gt;&gt; dumpfile


I have adapted it as follows. 

echo "SET SESSION SQL_LOG_BIN=0;" | gzip | zcat - /somewhere/withspace/dump/somelargedb.sql.gz | mysql -u root -p somelargedb
