Is the max connections value in a system table somewhere?

If you intend to do anything with the value you probably want one of these forms:

SELECT CAST(current_setting('max_connections') AS integer);
SELECT CAST(setting AS integer) FROM pg_settings WHERE name='max_connections';

The setting comes back as a text field when using current_setting on the pg_settings view (which isn't a real table, under the hood it's calling a system function)
