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

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
