I agree with JCO. DOF depends on the magnifcation by the lens. At
typical object distances (1m), the short focal length (e.g. 10mm)
lenses of digital cameras can be used at almost constant and very small
(1:100) magnification, hence the large DOF.

I also agree with JCO.
The difference between a 50mm and 100mm is not the DOF, assuming your object has the
same size on your film or sensor.
The difference is a bigger working distance for the 100mm, and a smaller angle of
view, which gives you more change to get a less distracting background.

Here's a photo of the two side by side for comparison:
