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?

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)
);
