Zero bytes - iCloud is eating my documents!

Question

Hello - I have transferred a load of files to my iCloud drive and I now am finding that about 20% of them show in finder as Zero bytes, both in iCloud.com and on my mac.   Where on earth has the file gone? I can't access the contents anywhere and need to go back to my (cleverly retained) backup..
Is this a feature?  Will it suddenly appear?  Or is it lost in the clouds?

Answer 1

Let's try this:
create or replace procedure foo
is
t number;
begin
select 1 into t from dual;
end;
import java.sql.*;
public class call
    public static void main(String args[])
        throws Exception
        DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
        Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection(args[0], args[1], args[2]);
        int loop_count = 100;
        String sql = "{ call foo() }";
        CallableStatement stmt = connection.prepareCall(sql);
        for (int n = 0; n < 10; n++) {
            long start = System.currentTimeMillis();
            for (int m = 0; m < loop_count; m++)
                stmt.execute();
            long end = System.currentTimeMillis();
            System.out.println("time: " + (end - start) + " ms");
        stmt.close();
}Here are my timings (Java1.4, Oracle 8, Oracle 8 thin driver; very similar if I try with Oracle 9 drivers against Oracle 8 server):
time: 245 ms
time: 145 ms
time: 147 ms
time: 188 ms
time: 158 ms
time: 144 ms
time: 139 ms
time: 148 ms
time: 134 ms
time: 327 ms
What times do you get with that test?
