Unless you use quoted identifiers, Firebird is case insensitive,
but you are not required to name objects in all caps.

It is exactly the same as e.g. with Delphi - although Pascal
is case insensitive too, most Pascal programmers happily
use identifiers like MyVariable.

The only small problem you can encounter is when you
reverse-engineer the database, because case-insensitive identifiers
are stored in uppercase in system tables.
