MyISAM doesn't have a hard 4gb table size... It may default to a 4gb
limit if you forgot to give a hint as to the final table size when you
created it, though. Try running
ALTER TABLE mytable AVG_ROW_LENGTH=36000000 MAX_ROWS=3600
( 36MB average row length since you have 9 4mb blobs, and 10 years
worth of records. )
