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?
