* A extension of the ItemAssocDAO interface with just one method that allows for faster inserts by the Ruleminer.
* Since the unique ID of the ItemAssoc is not needed in the rule mining process, the insert can be perfomed
* without the need for a spring KeyHolder, thus the MySQL function 'ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE' can be used.
