Yes,

If you want to use this driver (GDAL/GEOR) you would need to load the data into 
the database, once it is there you 
can take advantage of the functions available for you in Oracle Spatial, or in 
the RDBMS itself like in any other data 
type.

You can use GDAL Java API as you normally do for any other GDAL supported 
formats. The only difference is that 
instead of passing a file name on GDAL.Open() you pass a connection string like 
"usr/pwd@db,tab,col,<where 
clause>".  If the where clause return a unique sdo_georaster object you are 
ready to go, if it returns more than one the 
driver returns a list  of SUBDATASETS (BTW, that is how QGIS browse for 
sdo_georaster using the Oracle Raster Plugin) 
then you parse the SUBDATASETS names as find each individual images.

Best Regards,

Ivan
