It was never intended for Oracle XE or even standalone Oracle DB. And if you use Oracle XE 10g, then 4GB is your limit set by Oracle. <a href="http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B25329_01/doc/install.102/b25143/toc.htm#BABFCCBC" target="_blank">http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B25329_01/doc/install.102/b25143/toc.htm#BABFCCBC</a> You have to upgrade to Oracle XE 11g, which has limit 11 GB or buy full license. db-control has nothing to do with this limit. I recommend you to migrate to PostgreSQL: <a href="https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/wiki/PostgreSQLFromOracle" target="_blank">https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/wiki/PostgreSQLFromOracle</a> Mirek Suchy _______________________________________________ Spacewalk-list mailing list <a href="mailto:Spacewalk-list@redhat.com" target="_blank">Spacewalk-list@redhat.com</a> <a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/spacewalk-list" target="_blank">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/spacewalk-list</a> </blockquote></div>
