Hi, David.
I've never heard of a connection trap, but I'll hazard a guess and surmise
that it might be another name for a fan trap. A fan trap is the result of
an improperly designed relational database, in which a tertiary relationship
is built between entities (tables), instead of a binary relationship. One
entity (table) is functionally dependent upon a second entity to bridge the
intended relation to the third entity. This structure results in data
anomolies and compromises data integrity.
HTH.
