As noted in the documentation, the updater takes makes changes to array tables that the framework will pick up, but if you have custom queries written that work with array tables in any of your code, the 'objectID' column has changed to 'parentID'
We were able to do large scale find/replace in our application to account for the path changes made in the core framework. I think there was a post about the specific path changes, but I can't find it at the moment. My upgrade notes say we did the following: 1. replaced /farcry/#application.applicationname# with /farcry/ projects/#application.applicationname# 2. replaced farcry/fourq with farcry/core/packages/fourq 3. replaced farcry.fourq with farcry.core.packages.fourq 4. replaced farcry_core with core If you have access a multiple instance CF server, you could backup and restore a copy of your database and create a new CF instance with FC 4 mappings and a DSN to your DB-copy. Also, if you have your code in source control, you might want to consider creating a new branch prior to modifying your FC v3 code. There is a fair amount of setup and configuration involved in doing it this way, but it would help you determine how involved upgrading your application will be (in a non- destructive way.) You can do it without source control as well by making a copy of your code and working through upgrade related changes on the copy. Tools like http://scootersoftware.com/moreinfo.php can help you sync things up when you are done. Hope that helps.
