In any case, it is much more convenient to have all the table
names in uppercase (you don't need to remember the exact
capitalization of your names).
The datapump from delphi does not do that, I think,
but you can find some other tools to migrate the base
while "upper-casing" all the names. Database Workbench
from upscene.com does that (thank you M. Tonies ;+))

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');
