I was using mysqldump to export the database, like this:
mysqldump -u root -ppassword my_database > c:\temp\my_database.sql
Somehow, it only exports one table. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

try this. There are in general three ways to use mysqldump—
in order to dump a set of one or more tables,
shell> mysqldump [options] db_name [tbl_name ...]
a set of one or more complete databases
shell> mysqldump [options] --databases db_name ...
or an entire MySQL server—as shown here:
shell> mysqldump [options] --all-databases
If you are dumping tables t1, t2, and t3 from mydb
mysqldump -u... -p... mydb t1 t2 t3 > mydb_tables.sql
If you have a ton of tables in mydb and you want to dump everything except t1, t2, and t3, do this You can use the --ignore-table option. So you could do:
mysqldump -u username -p database --ignore-table=database.table1 --ignore-table=database.table2 > database.sql

To export the table run the following command from the command line:
mysqldump -p --user=username dbname tableName > tableName.sql
This will export the tableName to the file tableName.sql.
To import the table run the following command from the command line:
mysql -u username -p -D dbname < tableName.sql
The path to the tableName.sql needs to be prepended with the absolute path to that file. At this point the table will be imported into the DB.
mysqldump -u root -p dbname table1 table2 table3 > table.sql
