this is unfortunately a common misconception. F. ex. IBX's IBTable component
forces delimited table names in dialect 3 if you use it to create a
table, and people (err, the author, actually) think it is correct
behaviour.

See Luc's comment in this very thread (before it got hijacked, at
least):

this isn't exactly correct, Martijn has got it right instead. If you
use dialect 3 tablenames (and other metadata) _CAN OPTIONALLY BE_ case
insensitive. You choose (and if you're smart, you choose not to :-)).

Ciao
