Answer 1

I had this error when upgrading a Sitecore site to version 8.2.

As part of the upgrade I had to create a secondary reporting database and run a rebuild on the reporting database.

https://doc.sitecore.com/developers/82/sitecore-experience-platform/en/walkthrough--rebuilding-the-reporting-database.html

Once the rebuild is done you have to change the reporting database connection string so that it uses the new updated database rather than the old one.

Doing this last step fixed it for me. The old database does not have a DeployDate column in the database and that was what caused the error.
