How to center align a table with lots of columns in LaTeX?

Question

So I have a table with lots of columns. Because of this there's a lot of space on the left (i.e. \parindent) and very little space on the right of the table:

Here's the relevant code:

{\scriptsize\begin{tabular}{ | l | l | l | c | c | c | c | c | c | }

How do I make the table align in such a way that there's an equal amount of space on the left as well as on the right?

Answer 1

I solved the problem by using \resizebox from the graphicx package as follows:

\resizebox{\textwidth}{!}{
    \begin{tabular}{...}
        ...
    \end{tabular}
}

The result was as follows:

Just what I wanted.
