Re: Add statistics_collector_listen_addresses to fix hard-coding of "localhost"

It is client applications and services,NOT client applications and database.
It just term's (client applications, services) misleading.
To the system view,
You should definitely known they are relationship between process and process.
Or I could still say some postgres process provide service,and some
postgres process is client.
PG process are just another couple of client and service.
Why my client applications could not get so closer relationship with
services,just like pg's client process and service's process ?

Still,You got no knowledge about "client applications and services".
What you said is your assumption.
Without knowledge, you should consider them equivalent.
PG got no priority.
