OK, as you know, with ubbthreads, if you wish to export from another program, eg, vbulletin, and import and convert to ubbthreads, you have to manually export each table seperatly as explained here:

Now then, is there a quick way of doing this?

You can use phpMyAdmin if you want to use a GUI to export the database or mysqldum p (commmand line tool).

I didnt think that ubb supports full database imports?
Only table csv files....

Thats my problem, exporting each table one by one is very time consuming, even in phpmyadmin.

Both, phpMyAdmin and mysqldump can export to CSV.

If you use mysqldump like this:
mysqldump –u <user> –p –t -T <output directory> --fields-enclosed-by='"' --fields-terminated-by=',' <db_name>

It automatically genereates a seperate file for each table in the database.

hmmm, i'm not too confident using mysqldump command line.

How would you export a whole database into seperate tables in one go using phpmyadmin?
I can only find the option to export it table by table...

You can't with phpMyAdmin, you have to do it for each table as stated in the documentation.
