For DML you need to think of the data as being unordered sets, not
ordered lists.  The whole concept of a relational database is that
related rows can be associated through their common data values.
You are splitting them apart and then trying to match them up again
to link them back together.  You will be better off if you can
leave the relationship intact all the way through -- perhaps by
adding name_last to table_1.

Can you give me examples please?

Actually I can't use name_last or name_first because some of the rows have name_last/name_first = null

I'm inserting more columns that I shown:

CREATE TABLE
    public.not_monthly
    (
    id BIGINT DEFAULT "nextval"('"not_monthly_id_seq"'::"regclass") NOT NULL,
    clientid BIGINT,
    name_first CHARACTER VARYING(80) DEFAULT ''::CHARACTER VARYING,
    name_last CHARACTER VARYING(80) DEFAULT ''::CHARACTER VARYING
company_name CHARACTER VARYING(80)
);
 

but the only value that is commun between table_1 and table_2 is the clientid and c_id.
Clientid is the same for all the rows
c_Id is the column I need to update from the inserted on table_1

So.. not many options here
