What alternative SELECT query could be used to address the issue of ambiguity in the field list?

When there is ambiguity in the field list of a SELECT query, you can use table aliases to specify which table a column belongs to. This helps clarify the source of each column and resolves any ambiguity in the query. 

// Using table aliases to address ambiguity in the field list
$query = "SELECT t1.column_name AS t1_column, t2.column_name AS t2_column 
          FROM table1 AS t1
          JOIN table2 AS t2 ON t1.id = t2.id";

// Execute the query and fetch results
$result = mysqli_query($connection, $query);
