I'm not sure the above makes sense. I don't see any way to connect that
particular payment to that particular bill. You also seem to have two
different types of information in the billing table (billing *and* payment).

Also, the payment seems to be occurring before the bill - which can happen,
but there doesn't seem to be any account it is paid into.

Generally, there are two ways to do this:
1. Set-returning functions (see the manuals and
http://techdocs.postgresql.org)
2. A transaction/account page that you keep up to date in exactly the sort of
format you want in your view. Triggers can make sure this happens
automatically.

Unfortunately, if you're stuck with the tables you've shown us then I don't
think you can solve your problem.
