DB locks when creating alerts

[alex-mcgovern]

Describe the issue

While investigating this issue, I noticed that we were getting some DB locks writing alerts. This coincided with extremely slow responses from Github Copilot in the IDE chat extension.

Steps to Reproduce

• Run codegate (I was running a locally built image on main 5abdad6)
• Ask copilot to analyse a file (I used eth/eth.py in the codegate-demonstration repo)
• Observe the logs

Right now we're inserting into prompts, alerts and outputs table separately. Hopefully, if we change to add everything in a single transaction we would avoid locking issues.
