db-control was intended for embedded Oracle DB of RHN Satellite.

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.

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:
