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)
