Matomo upgrade issues: Mysqli prepare error: Unknown column 'login' in 'where clause'

I am upgrading from matomo 4.2.1 to 4.5.0. using the manual 3-step option. After extracting the file and adding permissions, I returned to the browser to and entered login parameters. On pressing enter key, I got this error: “Mysqli prepare error: Unknown column ‘login’ in ‘where clause’”. I need help understanding what this mean and how can I fix it? Thank you.

I encounter also a similar issue on our test instance, but on segment creation:
Mysqli prepare error: Unknown column ‘hash’ in ‘field list’
The issue appeared suddenly, and does not appear on our production instance (same version: 4.3.1)

Maybe it is related to MySQL itself?
@innocraft any idea?
