I need example of website that already used xml as database.

Frankly, I doubt that any non-trivial web site uses XML as its database, as that would be too inefficient compared to using a RDBMS application. What many will do, however, is select data from their database and output it as a XML file when exchanging data with other applications that do not have direct access to the RDBMS application.

As an example, many shopping cart applications will interract with a shipping company's web site to determine shipping costs for a customer's order. Many of these function by using transmitting data between the two sites and their applications via XML files. But the shipping company is not using XML as its database, rather it is generating the necessary XML data at run-time based on its database and the logic and calculations done by its program with which the shopping cart program is communicating.
