What do we call the equivalent of CSS "Specificity" in SQL?

In CSS, the more HTML elements you specify, the more precedence the selector gets. This is known as "specificity." For example, div p span {...} Is more specific than, and thus would override: span {...} In SQL, one can start a query like: SELECT database.table.columnOne, database.table.columnTwo FROM ... The same query can be expressed, less specifically, as: SELECT columnOne, columnTwo FROM ... Is there a proper term in SQL for being more specific in queries, or is it just called "specificity" like in CSS?
