deadlock occurs with use statement

When issuing a query from Informatica using a Delta connection, the statement use catalog_name.schema_name is executed first. At that time, the following error appeared in the query history:

Query could not be scheduled: (conn=5073499)
Deadlock found when trying to get lock; try restarting transaction

I understand that deadlocks can occur when multiple Informatica workflows are writing to the same table at the same time, but I’m not sure why this would happen with a USE statement.

Has anyone else experienced this situation?
