-.. versionchanged:: 1.4.1 The pyodbc dialects will not use setinputsizes
- unless ``use_setinputsizes=True`` is passed.
+When ``use_setinputsizes`` is left at its default of ``True``, the

+programmatically customized using the :meth:`.DialectEvents.do_setinputsizes`
+hook. See that method for usage examples.
.. versionchanged:: 2.0 The mssql+pyodbc dialect now defaults to using
- setinputsizes for all statement executions with the exception of
- cursor.executemany() calls when fast_executemany=True.
+ ``use_setinputsizes=True`` for all statement executions with the exception of
+ cursor.executemany() calls when fast_executemany=True. The behavior can
+ be turned off by passing ``use_setinputsizes=False`` to
+ :func:`_sa.create_engine`.
