I find the 180 seconds to be not even close to enough time, especially when
your database gets relatively large and/or your sensor(s) get more
involved.  I'd recommend editing the ACID config file to up the script run
time (acid_conf.php) before you decide to delete the entire DB and start
over.

(fyi, I currently have my timeout set to 18000, which gets me 300 minutes
of runtime.  I found that even 1800 wasn't always enough when I was, say,
deleting 100,000 alerts after our networks were scanned for
$windows-exploit-of-the-day)
