Nope.

You are specifying that you want to assign all the "c_id" values
from the "sel" relation to the "c_id" column in "table2" for any
and all rows which have a "clientid" value of 124312.  Effectively
the database is complaining that it can only store one value, not a
set of values.  I can only guess at what you might be intending to
ask the database to do.  Can you explain what you are trying to do?

Sorry.. didn't mean to be rude... just in my thoughts  I've already explained it well. 
Let see if the more clear now:


Table has data from a CSV file"
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
);


Target table number 1 - On this table, I'll get clientid and name_first from public.not_monthly:
CREATE TABLE
    table_1
    (
        id BIGINT DEFAULT "nextval"('"table_1_id_seq"'::"regclass") NOT NULL,
        clientid BIGINT DEFAULT 0 NOT NULL,
        name_first CHARACTER VARYING(80) DEFAULT ''::CHARACTER VARYING
);

Target table number 2 - On this table, I'll get clientid and name_last from public.not_monthly and c_id from table_1.id:
CREATE TABLE
    table_2
    (
        id BIGINT DEFAULT "nextval"('"table_2_id_seq"'::"regclass") NOT NULL,
        c_id BIGINT, --This value must be taken from table_1 inserted sql
        clientid BIGINT DEFAULT 0 NOT NULL,
        name_last CHARACTER VARYING(80) DEFAULT ''::CHARACTER VARYING
);



So, it would be:


1 - Select the data
WITH rows AS (
SELECT
                    t1.clientid,
                    t1.name_first,
                    t1.name_last
            FROM
                    public.not_monthly t1
),

2 - Insert the data into table_1(clientid,name_first)
ins_table_1 AS (
INSERT INTO public.table_1 (clientid,name_first)
        SELECT 
                clientid,
                name_first
        FROM rows 
RETURNING id
),


3 - Insert the data into table_2(clientid,name_last)
ins_table_2 AS (
INSERT INTO public.table_2 (name_last,clientid) 
        SELECT
                name_last,
                clientid
        FROM rows 
RETURNING id
)

4 - Get the table_1.c_id from the STEP NUMBER 2 and put it into table_2.c_id - This is the problem.. how can I get the inserted id from STEP2 and put it into c_id respecting the order?


clientid is the same for all the rows.. so I can't put a WHERE using clientid because it won't work.
