Split Very long table on one page then continue on next page

Question

I wanted to split a narrow, very long table, on one page, then after that page is full, continue the table on the page.

I looked at the solutions posted here and here, but could not get a proper output. I am pulling the data generated from measurements that is saved to a text file, hence the filecontents.

Please help me (if possible) to get the table on multiple columns on one page then continue on the next page.

Here is the code that I have thus far:

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage[top=3cm,bottom=3cm,left=3.2cm,right=3.2cm,headsep=10pt,a4paper]{geometry}
\usepackage{pgfplotstable, booktabs}
\pgfplotsset{compat=newest}
\usepackage{longtable}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{array}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\fancyhf{}

\usepackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents}{verylong.txt}

I think you should switch to supertabular instead of longtable.

The package should do what you need.

Here the code

                \documentclass{book}
                \usepackage[top=3cm,bottom=3cm,left=3.2cm,right=3.2cm,headsep=10pt,a4paper]{geometry}
                \usepackage{pgfplotstable, booktabs}
                \pgfplotsset{compat=newest}
                \usepackage{supertabular}
                \usepackage{amsmath}
                \usepackage{array}
                \usepackage{fancyhdr}
                \pagestyle{fancy}
                \fancyhf{}

                \usepackage{filecontents}
                \begin{filecontents}{verylong.txt}

Here is the output I get, page 1:

The key points

Substitute \usepackage{longtable} with \usepackage{supertabular}
Provide the command \twocolumn in your document, to enable two-column composition
Before the \pgfplotstabletypeset you should use:
- \tablefirsthead to define the first header of the table.
- \tablehead to define the other headers
- \tabletail to define the footer of your table (not the last one)
- \tablelasttail to define the last footer
- \tablecaption to provide the table caption.
Remember to switch back to one-column composition by providing \onecolumn at the end of the table.

All of this is documented in supertabulardocumentation

thanks for your inputs, but how do you get back out of the \twocolumn mode? My main body of my document is the single column. — Joe, Apr 10 '17 at 16:13
@Joe you should provide \onecolumn after the table. this will start a new page with one single column — Moriambar, Apr 10 '17 at 16:39
Works great, but takes half an eon to compile, do you know what I could do to speed it up so I can keep it in my document, which I compile often? — Pertinax, Apr 28 '20 at 21:11

Split Very long table on one page then continue on next page
