Define only one output plugin in your snort.conf.  (database plugin)

yes

That is perhaps if we develop a utility which can manage an IDS database we
can >monitor for event correlation throughout a snort deployment of several
sensors. When we for example see a bunch of useless IIS exploit attempts

Take a look at ACID. It can delete alerts from the database and also archive
to another database.
