If you want to have case-sensitive identifiers in Firebird, you can enclose
them in double quotes, e.g.

CREATE TABLE "Places" (
"Place_ID" BigInt NOT NULL,
"Field1" varchar(10),
...);

Thereafter, in application code, you need to include the d/quotes
everywhere you refer to the objects, e.g. (Pascal examples):

MyQuery.SQL.Add('SELECT "Place_ID", "Field1", ...) FROM "Places"
WHERE "Place_ID" = :Place_ID');
