[Tex/LaTex] Fitting table to half of the page using template

tables

Following
Table to fit the rest of the paper width
my question,
I use the amcs template amcs template
and the following:

\documentclass{amcs}
\usepackage{booktabs,makecell,tabularx}
\renewcommand\theadfont{\small}
\newcolumntype{L}{>{\raggedright\arraybackslash}X}
\usepackage{siunitx}
%\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{adjustbox}
\usepackage{array,booktabs}

\newcolumntype{C}[1]{>{\centering\arraybackslash}p{#1}}
\documentclass{article}
    \usepackage{booktabs,makecell,tabularx}
    \renewcommand\theadfont{\small}
    \newcolumntype{L}{>{\raggedright\arraybackslash}X}
    \usepackage{siunitx}

\begin{document}
    \begin{table}[H]
    \centering
    \setlength{\tabcolsep}{1pt}
    \small
    \begin{tabularx}{\textwidth}{c L S[table-format=0.1]*{2}{S[table-format=0.1]}}
        \toprule
        \thead{ID}  &   \thead{UCI Dataset Name} 
        &   {\thead{Samples\\(number)}}
        &   {\thead{Attributes\\(number)}} 
        &   {\thead{Classes\\(number)}}           \\
        \midrule
        DS1 & Poker Hand                          & 1025010  & 11    & 9     \\
        DS2 & SUSY                                & 5000000  & 18    & 2     \\
        DS3 & Record Linkage Comparison  Patterns & 5749132  & 9     & 2     \\
        DS4 & KDD Cup 1999                        & 4898431  & 42    & 23    \\
        \bottomrule
    \end{tabularx}
    \caption{Datasets used for empirical evaluation}
    \label{table:1}
\end{table} 
 \end{document}

This is the result I get:

I need it to be in one column of the page. It is supposed to match into one column to the amcs format, like this:
How can I adjust the table to fit into one page column?

Replace first row of your table with:

\begin{tabularx}{\columnwidth}{@{}c L S[table-format=7.0]*{2}{S[table-format=2.0]}@{}}

Result will be something like this:

Edit: Slightly better result you will obtain with:

\begin{table}[htb]
\centering
\setlength{\tabcolsep}{2pt}
\small
\begin{tabularx}{\columnwidth}{@{}c L S[table-format=7.0]*{2}{S[table-format=2.0]}@{}}
    \toprule
    \thead{ID}  &   \thead{UCI Dataset Name}
    &   {\thead{Samples\\(num.)}}
    &   {\thead{Attributes\\(num.)}}
    &   {\thead{Classes\\(num.)}}           \\
    \midrule
    DS1 & Poker Hand                          & 1025010  & 11    & 9     \\
    DS2 & SUSY                                & 5000000  & 18    & 2     \\
    DS3 & Record Linkage Comparison  Patterns & 5749132  & 9     & 2     \\
    DS4 & KDD Cup 1999                        & 4898431  & 42    & 23    \\
    \bottomrule
\end{tabularx}
\caption{Datasets used for empirical evaluation}
\label{table:1}
\end{table}

[Tex/LaTex] Fitting a huge table in one page

How about the following:

    \end{tabular}%
  \label{tab:addlabel2}%
\end{table}%
\end{landscape}

The ideas are:

Use landscape mode (package lscape or pdflscape)
Rotate the long captions of the columns (\rotatebox from package graphicx)
Spread the two longest row captions over two lines: use p{4.5cm} instead of c for the first column. To prevent a line break in the title caption "Simulation Capabilities" one can use a \multicolumn. To make the line break clear, make it left aligned and indent the second lines.
Decrease the column separation from 6pt (standard value) to 4pt.
Replace ----- by --- (as suggested by David Carlisle)

As suggested by Christian Lindig, it is also possible to rotate the column headers by some other angle; see Rotated column titles in tabular. This increases the width of the headers, of course, and so one has to take care, that this does not again increase the column separation. This can be achieved with \rlab. Example:

\newcommand*\rot[1]{\rotatebox{60}{\rlap{#1}}}

[Tex/LaTex] Fitting table to the whole page

Edit: I assume, that with "whole page" you mean over both columns in two column text. In this case you need to use

\begin{table*} ... \end{table*}

however table will be moved to the next page. There is one more limitations. At use of tabularx and columns of type X, the width of this columns is wrong interpreted: each take width of whole table. So it is better to use tabular* and columns p{...} or others (c, l, r, m{...}).
