Very nice question! With a little thought, I was certain about the answer. While this was the first time I heard about "halloween protection", the chain of thought I used was Halloween = ghosts & goblins. Ghosts = phantom. We all know about "phantom updates" and hence the answer had to be what it is.
I had the same thought, figuring it had something to do with ghosts. That was the only Halloween related term that seemed to be related to databases. Well, zombie might be too, but that only relates to DBA's that have been working too long without sleep. 😉
