Will upgrading Spacewalk 1.1 to 1.2 reduce database size consumption, or will a 
fresh install of 1.2 be required?

  Troubleshooting

  If you run out of space in Oracle XE you can try and reclaim some space
  by shrinking your storage: 

  Administration > Storage > Compact Storage in XE webUI
  (http://your.satellite.tld:9055/apex/).

You can also prurge old data (channels and systems).

If nothing above helps you have to wait for upcomming Spacewalk 1.2 which
is going to significantly lower database size consumption. There also will
be improved PostgreSQL version; still not 100% ready but you can expect
decent stability somewhere between alfa and beta version.
