What is the "LOV of Validation" Property of an item? What is the use of it? 

When LOV for Validation is set to True, Oracle Forms compares the current value of the text item to the values in the first column displayed in the LOV. Whenever the validation event occurs. If the value in the text item matches one of the values in the first column of the LOV, validation succeeds, the LOV is not displayed, and processing continues normally. If the value in the text item does not match one of the values in the first column of the LOV, Oracle Forms displays the LOV and uses the text item value as the search criteria to automatically reduce the list.

How do you use the same lov for 2 columns

declare
uname varchar2(10);
pass varchar2(10);
con_string varchar2(30);

begin
uname := 'scott';
pass :='tiger';
con_string='orcl';

logon(uname, pass||'@'||con_string);
end;

What are difference between post database commit and post-form commit?

The post-form-commit trigger fires after inserts, updates and deletes have been posted to the database but before the transactions have been finalized in the issuing the command. The post-database-commit trigger fires after oracle forms issues the commit to finalized transactions.
