You can not have separate binary logs per database. But, you can specify statements to be written to the binary log only for specific databases.

You can do this with the parameter binlog-do-db. For example:

[mysqld]
...
bin-log
binlog-do-db = test
binlog-do-db = world

This would enable binary logging for only statements for those listed databases. Statements would NOT be written if the SQL statement were issued against a database not listed, e.g.:
USE sales; INSERT INTO test.foo values ('a','b','c');

For more info, you can refer to http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/binary-log.html
