SET GLOBAL sql_slave_skip_counter = N

This statement skips the next N events from the source. This is useful for recovering from replication stops caused by a statement.

This statement is valid only when the replication threads are not running. Otherwise, it produces an error.

When using this statement, it is important to understand that the binary log is actually organized as a sequence of groups known as event groups. Each event group consists of a sequence of events.

When you use SET GLOBAL sql_slave_skip_counter to skip events and the result is in the middle of a group, the replica continues to skip events until it reaches the end of the group. Execution then starts with the next event group.
