Oracle has a similar functionality for text searching called "Oracle Text" http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10500_01/text.920/a96517/cdefault.htm, though that would not be integrated by SDB. Nor, would it likely be worth the effort last I checked it was not able to search text near as fast as Lucene. Personally I would just keep the Lucene files on the database file system somewhere.
