No, since the application isn't consistent in its identifiers casing,
nor in its use of quotes. For example it issues the following
query:

SELECT "PassWord" FROM "Operators" WHERE Password='...';

There is no way PostgreSQL is gonna accept that without modifying
either PostgreSQL or the application, or possibly, as was suggested
elsewhere, make the ODBC driver lowercase every identifier, quoted
or not.
