This need not take a long time (unless you have a
really huge amount of data). Just dump the schema
(table definitions etc.) and the data separately (man
pg_dump for details). Check that the dump files are
ok, then drop the database. Edit the schema dump to
force everything to lower case (easy with a small
script). Restore the database:
psql < schema.dump
psql < data.dump
and you are fixed.
