Comment:

 The KingOracle data provider does not support Oracle GeoRaster as I can
 see from here:
 [http://trac.osgeo.org/fdo/browser/trunk/Providers/KingOracle/src/Provider/c_KgOraRasterCapabilities.cpp#L33]

 But I believe you can access GeoRaster on FDO through the GDAL data
 provider, as long as you have compiled GDAL with Oracle support or if you
 have a GDAL plugin for GeoRaster installed (on Windows that will be
 "gdal_GEOR.dll" or linux, "gdal_GEOR.so").

 If you have that, you can read a GeoRaster by passing the GDAL/GeoRaster
 identification string and you can write the same way (if you can pass
 create-options to the GDAL driver, that will work better).

 More about GDAL and GeoRaster: [http://www.gdal.org/frmt_georaster.html]
