c# - Bulk deleting rows with RemoveRange()

Question

I am trying to delete multiple rows from a table.

In regular SQL Server, this would be simple as this:

DELETE FROM Table
WHERE
    Table.Column = 'SomeRandomValue'
    AND Table.Column2 = 'AnotherRandomValue'

In Entity Framework 6, they have introduced RemoveRange() method.
However, when I use it, rather than deleting rows using the where clauses that I provided, Entity Framework queries the database to get all rows that match the where clauses and delete them one by one using their primary keys.

Is this the current limitation of EntityFramework? Or am I using RemoveRange() wrong?

Following is how I am using RemoveRange():

db.Tables.RemoveRange(
    db.Tables
        .Where(_ => _.Column == 'SomeRandomValue'
            && _.Column2 == 'AnotherRandomValue')
);

I think we reached here a limitation of EF. Sometimes you just have to use ExecuteSqlCommand to stay performant.
