It's generally not safe to do updates directly to the database, 
unless you have a thorough understanding of the schema - and it's 
very complex in places. As always I'd recommend learning how to write 
Perl scripts that use the RT API.

But in this case, could you not use bulk update in the web interface 
to delete a batch of tickets?
