DeleteRangeByKey does not work with PostgreSQL

[Alexey39dev]

Description

Postgre database.
I am doing a batch deletion of rows from a table and I get an error message.

Code

Set<T>().DeleteRangeByKey(query);

Exception

Exception message:

Hello @Alexey39dev ,

Indeed, the DeleteRangeByKey method doesn't currently support PostgreSQL.

We currently have too many requests to add to our short-term plan, but we will need to complete that for 2025.
