I have only Database knowledge and my workplace now requires knowledge of Groovy on Grails, Angular JS.
Wondering if computer nerds here can let me know some good website to learn the new skills? I prefer learning by examples. Thanks in advance.
Where Is The Best Place/ Website/forum to Learn Groovy on Grails, Angular JS?

If your workplace is suddenly requiring additional knowledge, should they not be offering training? Or at the very least suggesting somewhere to gain said knowledge?
Pluralsight hands down is the best platform for learning front end frameworks like Angular, React or Vue. However there are no courses for Grails on Pluralsight.
+1 for Pluralsight. They have free access during April: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/614339
Some of their courses have code examples on Github so you can work through them yourself.
You'll need to learn how to program first. For Angular, you'll need to learn JavaScript. Angular has a great follow-along tutorial that I used when I learned at work. Took about a day and a half to complete and I was able to contribute to code right away afterwards as it was really thorough.
That being said I didn't know JavaScript at all when I started the tutorial, but I had been a Java and C++ developer so I already knew how to program. If you don't know how to program at all you might struggle. I am surprised your work would give you programming tasks if you're not a developer currently.
I don't know anything about Grails.
Can recommend this Angular course: https://www.udemy.com/course/the-complete-guide-to-angular-2…
I had to learn Angular for a work project, and this got me going in no time. Covers everything from the basics to complex concepts. Author is a legend. Explains things really really well. He also offers the course on his own website (academind.com), but its cheaper on udemy :)
From a quick search, it is no longer called Groovy on Grails and is now simply referred to as Grails.
Probably best to start with the official website guides and see if there is anything useful there? - https://guides.grails.org/index.html
Angular is a framework of JavaScript so it would probably help to start with some basic foundations of JavaScript first, plenty of resources on JS but I found Pluralsite (https://www.pluralsight.com/) helpful personally.
