printf format specification for types....

i saw the format specification of  printf, but i don't know which type is for which ...  like %f is for float right?
i'm trying to use the string.format to be used in my sql statement...  i get the values from a table in a database...and these are the types that i get from odbc...
   
types when binded using odbc
    TEXT------------------------ text
    LONGTEXT-------------------- text
    Currency-------------------- text
    Long------------------------ long
    Counter--------------------- long
    Bit------------------------- Bool
    Datetime-------------------- DateTime
    LongBinary------------------ text

if float is %f ,  long is %_? or datatime is % ?  the string fomat is supposed to be the same as those of printf, it's supposed to convert the said types to string, i just don't know which letters to use...
