Thanks to all who answered!  Below are the responses I got:

Join[A,B]

That essentially depends on how you get at your tables. If you have them
available altogether in a single List, then just Apply Join (see Help >
Join, Apply). It will then take you a second or two (or less), but avoid
building up your database incrementally: that will take you the day.

See also (Help > Reep, Sow).

Hello !
 
Several possibilities...
 
Here two of them  (in your example, modified to see the ordering problem)
 
A={{1,2},{8,9},{5,6}}

B={{6,7},{3,4},{10,11},{12,13}}

Join[A,B]

{{1,2},{8,9},{5,6},{6,7},{3,4},{10,11},{12,13}}

Flatten[{A,B},1]

{{1,2},{8,9},{5,6},{6,7},{3,4},{10,11},{12,13}}

You could also use Union[A,B], but in this case, the ordrer will be
re-arranged :
Union[A,B]

{{1,2},{3,4},{5,6},{6,7},{8,9},{10,11},{12,13}}

***

Following should work to join two lists:
Join[A,B] or
Append[A,B]

--j
