SQLite Table Select Query optimization

In my SQLite table data will be like this

UNIQUE_DATA_ID, DET_ID_1, DET_ID_2, DET_ID_3, DET_ID_4,     DET_ID_5,   DET_ID_6,   DET_ID_7,   DET_ID_8,   DET_ID_9,   DET_ID_10,  DET_ID_11,  DET_ID_12
    [1,         178,    6003041,     -1,         606245,    6006919,    6007,       600113,     -1,         600011,     -1,         6013,       -1]
    [2,         178,    6003041,     -1,         606245,    6006919,    6007,       600113,     -1,         600011,     -1,         6013,       -1]
    [3,         178,    6003041,     -1,         606245,    6006919,    6007,       600113,     -1,         600011,     -1,         6013,       -1]
    [4,         178,    6003041,     -1,         606245,    6006919,    6007,       600113,     -1,         600011,     -1,         6013,       -1]
    [5,         178,    6003041,     -1,         606245,    6006919,    6007,       600113,     -1,         600011,     -1,         6013,       -1]
    [6,         178,    6003041,     -1,         606245,    6006919,    6007,       600113,     -1,         600011,     -1,         6013,       -1]
    [7,         178,    6003041,     -1,         606245,    6006919,    6007,       600113,     -1,         600011,     -1,         6013,       -1]

I need to get a single row that matches the criteria irrespective of UNIQUE_DATA_ID . in the above table only UNIQUE_DATA_ID varies for each row.

this is my query

    select UNIQUE_DATA_ID,DET_ID_1,DET_ID_2,DET_ID_3,DET_ID_4,DET_ID_5,DET_ID_6,DET_ID_7,DET_ID_8,DET_ID_9,DET_ID_10,DET_ID_11,DET_ID_12 from `354567000013_6744043_DET_TABLE` 
        where   
        DET_ID_2=-6003041   
        AND DET_ID_3=-1     
        AND DET_ID_4=606245     
        AND DET_ID_5=6006919        
        AND DET_ID_6=6007       
        AND DET_ID_7=600113 
        AND DET_ID_8=-1
        AND DET_ID_9=600011 

If I run this I am getting all the values from the above table and it's a little bit fast (1ms) when compared to a query with a limit.

I need to get only one row so I used a limit of 1

    select UNIQUE_DATA_ID,DET_ID_1,DET_ID_2,DET_ID_3,DET_ID_4,DET_ID_5,DET_ID_6,DET_ID_7,DET_ID_8,DET_ID_9,DET_ID_10,DET_ID_11,DET_ID_12 from `354567000013_6744043_DET_TABLE` 
        where   
        DET_ID_2=-6003041   
        AND DET_ID_3=-1     
        AND DET_ID_4=606245     
        AND DET_ID_5=6006919        
        AND DET_ID_6=6007       
        AND DET_ID_7=600113 
        AND DET_ID_8=-1
        AND DET_ID_9=600011  LIMIT 1

But this takes 5ms time.

In this table only UNIQUE_DATA_ID is indexed. This UNIQUE_DATA_ID is varied for each row because it's coming from another table.

In which way I can optimize this select query and get exactly one row.

and also what about inner query after indexing DET_ID_1 like this

   select UNIQUE_DATA_ID,DET_ID_1,DET_ID_2,DET_ID_3,DET_ID_4,DET_ID_5,DET_ID_6,DET_ID_7,DET_ID_8,DET_ID_9,DET_ID_10,DET_ID_11,DET_ID_12 from `354567000013_6744043_DET_TABLE`  
        where DET_ID_1= (select distinct(DET_ID_1) from `354567000013_6744043_DET_TABLE` 
        where   
        DET_ID_2=-6003041   
        AND DET_ID_3=-1     
        AND DET_ID_4=606245     
        AND DET_ID_5=6006919        
        AND DET_ID_6=6007       
        AND DET_ID_7=600113 
        AND DET_ID_8=-1
        AND DET_ID_9=600011)

Are you sure that your observations are correct?

The following, based upon the information provided in your question, returns results that consistently show that for 999999 rows the query with LIMIT 1 significantly reduces the elapsed time. Obviously such times are device dependant.

With LIMIT 1 the query takes up to 2 milliseconds as opposed to over 4seconds without the LIMIT.

However, a run (this run having UNIQUE_DATA_ID as the primary key, as opposed to an index (times about the same)). The message log (from Navicat for SQlite):-

If, as per the edited, question you use :-

select UNIQUE_DATA_ID,DET_ID_1,DET_ID_2,DET_ID_3,DET_ID_4,DET_ID_5,DET_ID_6,DET_ID_7,DET_ID_8,DET_ID_9,DET_ID_10,DET_ID_11,DET_ID_12 from `354567000013_6744043_DET_TABLE`  
        where DET_ID_1= (select distinct(DET_ID_1) from `354567000013_6744043_DET_TABLE` 
        where   
        DET_ID_2=-6003041   
        AND DET_ID_3=-1     
        AND DET_ID_4=606245     
        AND DET_ID_5=6006919        
        AND DET_ID_6=6007       
        AND DET_ID_7=600113 
        AND DET_ID_8=-1
        AND DET_ID_9=600011)
