How do I upgrade CiviCRM?

First upgrade your codebase directly from your current version to the version you want to use (for example, 1.2 to 1.7). Then upgrade a copy of your database (assuming you want to preserve your data) through each version from 1.2 to 1.3, 1.3 to 1.4, etc. using the script files that are included in your civicrm/sql directory. If you are upgrading from a rather old schema (for example 1.2), you might also want to follow the procedures Ensuring Schema Integrity on Upgrades which help ensure that your database has an exact implementation of the current schema. Then point your codebase to the upgraded database.

Detailed instructions for upgrading Drupal sites are at 2. Install.
