When editing an article, and after clicking save I lost all the formatting, hyperlink etc...
I tried to change the text filters to NO FILTERS for the superuser and all other also, but the problem was not solved.
Moreover, I received the error about my DATABASE not being aligned with the CMS (3.4.0-2015-02-26) version. Maybe the two things are related??
If someone can help I would be grateful.
In TinyMCE, some characters or HTML entities are removed for security reasons.
You can try JCE and enable options to accept HTML entities, PHP, CSS, Javascript, etc...
You can select these options as and when you need them.

Yes i received the error in Extensions > Manage and click Database. I solved it by clicking FIX; moreover i set for all access level the text filter to NO FILTER.
Still not working.
Using JCE solves the problem.
If you are getting an error notice from your database, it is highly likely that you need to fix that before it will save edits. Select the menu Extensions > Manage and click Database and see if you need to synchronise or fix it.
I have experienced this issue myself, and if your database is up to date, then it is the issue of TinyMCE stripping formatting characters, though changing the filters for the superuser should work.
But you do need to ensure that you clear your cache including resetting the expired cache, and logout. Reset your browser cache, and exit the browser and then reload. It should now work.
My preferred is JCE. I've found that I never have this issue with JCE, and it has better control over the formatting of special characters.
A bit OT but a simpler way to add code is to use Sourcerer from NoNumbers which enables direct inclusion of code between {source}...{/source} tags. Use this with JCE and you have covered every option.
