How to delete alerts without acid

[Jason Humes <jhumes () acs on ca>]

Hi
I've got snort installed on a notebook which we use as a portable IDS.  We
take this out and drop it off at sites which may be experiencing problems.
This notebook is a P4 2.8ghz with 512RAM and 20gig HD.  I'm trying to delete
about 300000 alerts from the Snort DB through the ACID console, yet the page
never seems to refresh after I select the alerts and hit Delete.  The HD
activity light stays lit constant, yet no refresh (even after 30minutes).
Is there any way to clear up the alert database without using acid?  Could
this problem be related to something other than the large number of alerts?
Thanks

Jason D. Humes
